Actually 30k is cheap for what you are getting. Look at some of the other cars with comparable performance/package and you will be hitting at least 50k! I don't know why people keep on thinking 30k is a lot. Maybe it is if you make like 20k a year but it is not when you are considering the package you are getting (performance, brembo, recaro, momo, cf wing, etc).

what could be so bad about a 3in downpipe, as long as if fits with out rubbing I say go for it. Damn it's ss polish with a flex with tig welds, If i were looking for a downpipe I would buy this one.

We are driving Mitsubishi cars here... it's not like we are driving a medium to high end vehicle from a reputable company who honors their warranty... like BMW or Mercedes. It is sad that there are so many here who think a $30k car is something special... now what one gets for that $30k is another story all together.

I got the DPs in. The DP is not like the picture on ebay. Once again that is why I do not suggest buying things on ebay. People dont even take the time to get the pictures right.

Anyway, it is full 3" with a flexible section. It looks similar to the RSR one. It is all SS piping with tig welds and is polished nicely. I almost wish I could put it on the wall as a piece of art.

If anyone is in San Diego, I would love to install this on your EVO and let you check it out.

If anyone wants pictures, please Email me.

The only thing I can think of that is bad to say is that it does not come with new gaskets and bolts, which would have been a nice touch. Either way, at ~$150, you can't complain much. I have added this item to my store if there is any interest.

im not trying to bash anybody but why you telling ppl not to buy stuff from somebody who cant take time to get the right pic, when you have the exact same pic as the guys on ebay, your pic even has an ebay name stamped on it or is it your ebay id and you sell this stuff on ebay also??

No, you are right. In absence of the proper pic, the similar eBay one was used. However, as soon as I snap some pictures of the downpipe, they will replace the ones online.

Not a lack of time, but my DigiCam took a dump today. I am going to do my best to get some pics by the end of this evening.

I do not sell these on eBay. Also, I did borrow the pic for a few hours until I got mine in.

I am just trying to answer questions that eBay does not answer.

I dont know but i just went to their website, and their 3" exhaust for our cars looks sweet, who knows about how it performs though??? the price of their products is nice, and my uncle said, he was watching one of the "best motorings" videos and one of the cars on there had a Megan Racing Catback...maybe they arent soo bad, if anyone purchases one, I would like to know the results.....personally right now i am going the HKS route.

I think I found a volunteer locally with an Evolution and nice digi cam. He will install the parts with detailed pictures to show fit, quality, any rubbing issues, etc. We will also put on the Megan cat pipe and catback if possible.

Then we can answer the question properly instead of hateful guesses that some have posted. I only wish our Celicas had a downpipe like this available.

It's a full 3". There is an optional 2nd piece, which replaces the OE cat with a resonator. It is on the way as well so I can provide real pictures.
